Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei offensive lineman Khaled Holmes has several ties to USC, but the 6-foot-4, 300-pound Rivals100 pre-evaluation selection no longer needs to dream about playing for the Trojans.

Late last week, Holmes was given the opportunity to play football for USC. Now, all he has to do is accept that offer.

The news that USC would offer Khaled a scholarship came from his older brother, Alex Holmes.

As a former Trojans tight end, Alex was more than happy to spread the word that Khaled would have the opportunity to follow in his footsteps.
